I was invited for a day out with the dynamic duo of Ian and H (who go under the name of ianitter on here) for a trip around a few places in the Forest of Dean. Also with us was none members Fanny & Jimbob (more about him after) I have been through the forest hundreds of times but never really stopped to see what was around, saying that, the two locations they took me to I would never have found.
The first were 3 cottages deep among the forest with a good walk there and back to the car. The 3 were all within a 1/4 mile of each other (To you youngsters about 400 metres) The first 2 each side of a old lane and the other "Mary's Cottage" really hidden in the trees.
there is very little left of the first two cottages so I will do them on the same thread and just call the cottage 1 & 2
I tried out a wide angle/fisheye lens today and to be honest not sure if I like them. I will leave most of these on my flickr account here

Cottage 2
Even more rotten than the first, managed to put my foot through the bottom step so did not go any higher.
Loved the outer woodwork on the roof on this.
